I guess I notice it a lot more in basketball since you confer with the coaches much much more frequently than you do in baseball, but the good coaches always will know your first name - and they like to use it in a way that benefits THEM!

I always hate it when at the administrative meeting you have one coach that knows you and calls you by first name and the other coach that will address you as "mr. XXXXXX".

But I surmise that is part of the home field advantage right?

Thanks
